  "text": "For Article 99(2) alerts see general procedure in Section 2.2.\nIn addition, the following procedure shall apply:\n(a) when a positive hit occurs on an Article 99(3) alert, the discovering SIRENE bureau shall inform the requesting SIRENE bureau of the results (discreet surveillance or specific check) via the G form. At the same time the discovering SIRENE bureau shall inform its own competent service responsible for national security;\n(b) if the national security service in the discovering Member State decides that the alert requires a validity flag, it shall contact its national SIRENE bureau in order to create the flag with the requesting SIRENE bureau (via the F form). It shall not be required to explain the reasons for the flag, but the request shall be made through SIRENE channels;\n(c) a specific procedure is required to safeguard the confidentiality of information. Therefore, any contact between the services responsible for national security shall be kept separate from the contact between the SIRENE bureaux. Consequently, the reasons for requesting a flag shall be discussed directly between national security services and not through SIRENE bureaux.",
